Areas of specialization include biology of pathogenic microorganisms; immunology; animal virology; infectious diseases of mammals, avian, or fish; molecular biology, chemotherapy, immunology of parasitic protozoa and helminths as well as various aspects of wildlife diseases. An MS degree is also offered in an epidemiology specialization. Two types of students are accepted for graduate training: those with BS or MS degrees and those with DVM degrees.
